| Dating outside of one's race
Posted: 10/8/2009 10:15:31 AM | So someone just asked a great question on OkC that I'd like to re-ask here. Here is some of what she said:
"http://blog..com/index.php/2009/10/05/your-race-affects-whether-people-write-you-back/
'Your Race Affects Whether People Write You Back'
I saw a few comments from females in response to the blog stated that they were less inclined to reply to minority males (black/Hispanic and Indian) because of bad grammar/ sexually suggestive/ uneducated / not cultured blah blah.
Another detail the "study" emphasized was that women of ALL races(especially Asian and Hispanic) were overwhelmingly more likely to respond to white males. porque??
Also, black women were less likely to get responses from ALL races. porque??
Indian males have the lowest response rate. Asian females have the highest response rate. porque??"
So, what are your thoughts on this? How do you guys feel about interracial dating/mating? | |

I am cool with it. The only experience outside my race is with Hispanics but I do not hold race against anyone. | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 10:22:15 AM | I date men I find attractive in some way.
There are people of certain races that share common characteristics that I don't find particularly appealing. This could be physical, cultural, etc. | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 10:47:37 AM | I agree with Landra.
I will admit to having a little more attraction to dark skin and brown eyes -- of the hispanic or latino persuasion ...  | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 10:55:54 AM | most women on here dont date certain races but they dont write on their profile.
For example i wrote to some women on here in the past they wrote me back and even met me in person. my friend who's also on here wrote to the same women they read deleted or even block him. When he insisted they wrote back saying sorry im not attracted to your race.
But sometimes it's about the area or states but when He write to some women from different states or countries they answer back and willing to meet. | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 11:31:49 AM | | I've been attracted to men of every ethnicity. I'm all for dating someone because of who they are, not the shade of their skin. This is going to sound cliched, but love truly does come in every colour. :-) | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 2:20:40 PM | why do women respond overwhelmingly to white males? because they want to and that's their preference, nothing to get mad over
Black women were less likely to get responses from all races? why? because these few people in these faces are not attracted to black women and if they are they will message them.
Indian Males have the lowest response and Asian females have the highest rate, why? because that's the way it it is, I know it's a cop out answer but we live in a "IS" world and not "WHY" world.
My thoughts on these numbers have no affect on me and I could care less who gets messaged more or who gets messaged less. Interracial dating is cool, if two people meet and want to be with each other, let them. | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 3:08:49 PM | | You haven't distinguished between race and culture. Are the Indian males from India or American born? Are the Asian females from Asia or American? I grew up in a community that bordered the 3rd largest Japanese community in the world (the first was Tokyo and the second was Rio) and those girls that I grew up with were as far from the Asian woman stereotype as you can get. My ex-SIL laughs at all the white guys that go for her thinking that she's passive and submissive. | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 3:57:05 PM | I don't find myself physically attracted to fair-skinned men of any race. However, I am at odds with cultures that still think of women as a man's "belongings" who should have no opinion on anything.
As for "race", I fail to see that. You either belong to a certain culture or don't. Race is just a skin color that may even change from weather to weather. JMO. | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 4:31:56 PM | | I would have to agree with colt8301 on this one, I also think that the women respond to white males overwhelmingly is because on here there are a lot more white males than black males so also the ratio of white to black males. Since there are more white males on here who message females compared to black males then the choices of what to choose from favors more white males if there are more single and available white males on here. Whether it is a black woman who prefers to date a white male or a white woman who prefers black males or darker skinned men then I don't really care much as long as they enjoy each other's company. On other interracial dating websites to where there are women and men more willing to date outside of their race then you probably would get a better response and message rate then here on POF.com. If I message a woman and she doesn't respond or reads and deletes my message then I am not worried about it because if she did that then she probably wasn't interested in me as a person rather than what race I am. If two people love each other, enjoy each others culture and company then why should I care if they date outside of their race or not. | |

Well you live in Ontario Canada. Demographics are "total visible minorities" 22.8%- whopee. So somehow I wouldn't think it would be of much interest to you. I on the other hand live in Los Angeles where we are all different from each other and actually have to figure out how to deal with each other and then get along. There are linguistic and cultural barriers to overcome on a daily basis. The demographics of where I live are: 29.7% white (non-Hispanic) 11.2% African American 10% Asian American .8% Native American .2% Pacific Islanders (although we have huge populations of Philipinos and Samoans here) and 46.5 Hispanic. This doesn't add up to 100% because there are other groups as well. We have Chinatown, Little Tokyo, Historic Filipinotown, Little Ethiopia, Little Armenia, Thai Town, and Cambodia Town (all places where the local population has asked to be so designated-and there's a relatively new sign I see off Wilshire downtown for Central Americans can't remember what it's called) and there are sections of Fairfax, Hollywood,West Los Angeles and Beverly Hills that are home to a significant population of Iranians and Russians. Our state department of motor vehicles has driver handbooks in 8 languages (including Punjabi for the large East Asian population.) So this is a topic we discuss often here and is of interest to many people or else it wouldn't be done to death on the forums. | |

Yes.
In an established topic that's been here since May. And considering the one I post in is in the same section as this.
As well as 100's of others. | |

after reviewing your history I count three different threads on this topic that you have posted in ..within your last 50 posts...excluding this one
dont get me wrong ..maximus post in any threads that you want ... I just remembered several of your posts and thought it to be a subject that you had a interest in ...so i checked your history and it seemed odd that you criticize this subject as so redundant

Posted: 10/8/2009 8:25:49 PM | I never said the subject was redundant.
I said the multiple posts (in my translation to "beat to a bloody pulp") about the same topic is not needed especially when there is one in this same section "Dating Experiences" that is still very well active.
All it took the OP was to see in this section that this (non) redundant subject was still very much active. I'm sure answers could be found somewhere in there. | |

Posted: 10/9/2009 9:59:53 PM | ok ... I think that there are many posters like me ..I like threads with no more than 3 or 4 pages of posts .. i tend to get involved and like to read every post ..and to tell the truth I dont have the time to read 15 pages of posts ... I know it is not the philosophy of POF but I will hardly ever read a thread with more than 50 posts ..no mater how active or how interested in the topic I am
just to keep from hijacking the thread ..I would not eliminate the possibility of a relationship with person of another race .. but since I am married that probably wont happen ..I have however dated and had sex with women of other races ..but at that time any relationship was not in my interest | |

Posted: 10/9/2009 11:01:56 PM | | I turn down any race that is using sexually explicit verbage, rude or disrespectful e-mails or doesn't fit what I may be looking for in general, race never mattered to me, that is one thing that has no bearing. | |

Posted: 10/9/2009 11:27:36 PM | hispanic women were more likely to respond to a white guy? with my ads, i always get white and mexicans contacting me, mostly whites. the mexicans ive gotten had poor grammar and broken english, dont have the time to put the puzzle back together. ive met ppl online who never told me they didnt date outside their race but had no probs ****ing outside the race!
interracial dating, i have no preference just that i wont date anyone black or mexican - bad experience with a mexican. i wouldnt pass it up if anyone else for another race wanted to date me, i just never had the opportunity to date others from different races since i dont live in an area where its really diverse. i do have a puerto rican bf whom i love a lot and i love his culture. however, there are cultures that i cant see myself living in cuz i dont like how it works wouldnt mind bein friends with the person. | |

Posted: 10/9/2009 11:44:26 PM | OOH darn I just love those Hispanic guys! I understand them well otherwise my 20 yr old wouldn't be here. Maybe the ones we don't understand are the ones who just came here from Mexico. The ones born here I seem to have no prob with broken English.
I'm cool with white or Mexican as long as the guy is respectful. | |

Class and style are what I look for in a lady as well as looks.
Be honest guys would you rather have Tyra banks or Rosie O'Donald on your arm!!!!! | |
